Add Data.Complex instances
There are loads of utility functions for defining the included instances. I guessed at which ones should be used for Data.Complex, but if I guessed incorrectly please say so.
I used a two-element array as the representation because that's how I've seen APIs in the wild do it, but perhaps {i : ..., q : ...} or {real : ..., imag : ...} would be preferred?
@phadej any thoughts on this?
I'd pick {real : ..., imag : ...}, it will be analogous to Ratio. Also add FromJSON1 and ToJSON1 instance. Ratio doesn't have those, as it has an invariant, but Complex is really just a homogeneous pair (yet the common use case as number could be confusing when encoding as just a pair).
EDIT: I made a quick google, and it doesn't seem that there is an agreement to how encode complex numbers in JSON, so having more self-explanatory encoding is better.
Ah, sorry for missing *JSON1.
I'm curious what you'd think of having {real : ..., imag : ...} as the default instance, and then providing instances for the other two common ways via newtype instances (similar to the existing DotNetTime newtype).
(similar to the existing DotNetTime newtype).
Not worth the trouble.
